Important distinction and caution

Submitted by shrader on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 14:08.

It doesn't necessarily negate the assertion that bankers drive wars. The Constitution gives Treasury responsibility, though not the power to print beyond the discipline of gold and silver. An argument to remove money power from the private central bankers to different private bankers is a nuanced and difficult one in a world of Keynesians. Bernard von Nothaus' Liberty Dollar was a forward thinking experiment.

To "Coin" Money Only

Submitted by slimdadio on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 15:23.

The Constitution does not give government the power to issue currency. Only to make coins. Obviously allowing anyone, or any business (including banks) to issue currency that trades in the open market. With today's technology, currencies can be monitored for both their value and supply. Privately issued currency that competes with other currencies is a means to facilitate commerce and eliminate both the government and the central banks as rulers/enslavers by currency monopoly and inflation.

Just FYI, those Churchill

Submitted by rrc on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 13:41.

Just FYI, those Churchill quotes don't check out. A whole bunch of quotes attributed to Churchill seem to have sprung into existence on the Internet, magically enhancing the argument of this and other individuals.

There are enough confirmed, horrible things to have happened in history that we shouldn't be wasting our time - and credibility - on made up plots. If you want to make a video exposing evil in government, talk about Mk Ultra or Operation Mockingbird. These are real, sources are available, and not many people know about them.

That's very interesting

Submitted by shrader on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 13:56.

"Internet" research is not necessarily accurate. Can you easily specify which quotes are hallucinated? Quite a few historic episodes and quotes here I didn't know about. Gives pause..

Several things...

Submitted by Treg on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 12:45.

Interest made on loaned money is paid back to the US Treasury. This is a factual thing, either provable or not provable, thus we should save our time sharing opinions.

The solution of National banking cartels being replaced by State Bank cartels is not a solution. Far better to separate the State & Money all together and let free market money flourish.

Finally...
Usury, or interest on money, is a GOOD thing. There is nothing wrong with charging interest and there is everything wrong with NOT doing so. If your neighbor borrows 20,000 from you and pays you back the 20,000 5 years from today, you've lost, even if the buying power of the $20,000 is the exact same.... of course the buying power will not be, products improve, and most of all, your own opportunity costs of using the money yourself. Interest is a good thing, a capitalist thing, a rational thing. If you want my money, I experience opportunity cost, I will expect inflation cost or at least the uncertainty of its value when returned to me, and of course default risk (not getting my money back). Finally, I need the promise of gain, hence charging interest is quite natural thing to do. Even if you "borrow" for 5 years my barbecue, I want the promise of my barbecue returned PLUS...

The first statement is not

Submitted by AtlantaIconoclast on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 15:35.

The first statement is not true. Some is given back, but,not all. After all, the Fed has shareholders who earn income from some of the interest.

According to the original Act of Congress in 1913.

Submitted by Paul_S. on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 19:19.

Federal Reserve members were guaranteed by Congress, 6% profit after expenses on their paid in gold reserves. Everything over 6% is paid to the US Treasury as a franchise tax.

Federal Reserve member spare no expenses. They have the biggest buildings and the best paid employees.

Some of the bailouts of 2004 were likely Congress paying on its promise of 6% profits. But on what paid in gold reserves?

Does anyone know how to save this video in a format which...

Submitted by pawnstorm12 on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 11:51.

...can be preserved after they take it off YouTube?

I don't think this is going to be allowed to last for any length of time.

So just copying the URL won't do me any good if they take it down.

So how (if it's possible at all) can you preserve this video? Does anyone know?

I know how to preserve just the audio (with recording software) but not the video.

Thanks in advance for any help.

"...they decided that a fascist dictatorship in the United States based on the one on Italy would be far better for their business interests than Roosevelt's "New Deal" which threatened massive wealth re-distribution to recapitalize the working and middle class of America.

So the Wall Street tycoons recruited General Butler to lead the overthrow of the US Government and install a "Secretary of General Affairs" who would be answerable to Wall Street and not the people, would crush social unrest and shut down all labor unions. General Butler pretended to go along with the scheme but then exposed the plot to Congress.

Congress, then as now in the pocket of the Wall Street bankers, refused to act. When Roosevelt learned of the planned coup he demanded the arrest of the plotters, but the plotters simply reminded Roosevelt that if any one of them were sent to prison, their friends on Wall Street would deliberately collapse the still-fragile economy and blame Roosevelt for it. Roosevelt was thus unable to act until the start of WW2,"

http://youtu.be/5hfEBupAeo4?t=16m33s

Darn it!

If it wasn't for those pesky bankers, our glorious saviour FDR would have used the New Deal to end the assault on the proletariat by redistributing wealth to the workers!

They shut down shut down all labor unions, thus preventing the workers of the US from uniting!

Hmmm!

The path to true peace on Earth lies in the abolishment of all private central banking everywhere, and a return to the state-issued value-based currencies that allow nations and people to become prosperous.

"Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly."

But the Attempted Coup 'd Etat of Roosevelt IS THE PROOF

Submitted by LibertyBaby on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 16:49.


It is clear who and what really threatened the powers of the Banksters (Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Garfield, Roosevelt, Kennedy) by the Banksters very own counter actions.

The Video is not advocating a "National Bank". It is however correctly advocating for the creation of money to be a Debt-free public service (to allow the public to freely exchange their goods and services) ... which the private Banksters and the Wall Street vultures cannot get their dirty hands on and enslave us with again.


You are right about the video..

Submitted by Swifty on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 21:29.

But...

Take a look at the link offered in the "About" section provided by the up-loader of the video.

My problem here is that...

Submitted by ecorob on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 16:55.

what we currently have DOES NOT WORK!

Go BACK to the constitution, for a start, and begin to hammer out a better system that doesn't employ usury to ENSLAVE us ALL (and our great grand children).

Too bad our great grand fathers didn't think of this! Oh, that's right...they were too busy saving us from the banker's WW2!!!

That was a very nice distraction.

Speaking of distractions, you idiots that seek to disregard this video as a non-issue, what the hell are your solutions?

Submitted by Fr33d0m_W0rks on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 08:53.

Please keep in mind - I admit I only listened to about 10 minutes worth however and correct me if I am wrong.
The presenter never condemns fiat currency and only condemns who is in charge of the creation of fiat currency.
Do we honestly believe our trust worthy politicians would be more responsible with the creation of paper money then the banking scroundels. Yes one advantage is not having to pay interest on the said debt however the real issue is not who should be in charge of creating fiat (worthless paper) but rather that it is created in the first place - that is why we used commodity based currency so that NO ONE could expand / contact the money supply at will.
I feel the presentor has missed this most important point and again correct me if I missed that.

Gotta watch the whole thing. Why watch only 10 minutes?

Submitted by pawnstorm12 on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 11:46.

He addresses at the end that the United States must return to the issuance of its currency as an independent state - like the founders intended.

He doesn't go into absolute detail of how best to proceed with that.

But this video is more about making people aware first of all, of how the central bankers operate.

You can't begin to fix a problem until you realize that there IS a problem in th first place.

This video excels in that aim.

He also points out several times that our public education system makes sure NOT to teach the young sheeples this stuff.

So off they go in ignorance to be wage-slaves for life - without complaint or resistance.

Fiat money issued by any entitiy is the issue

Submitted by Fr33d0m_W0rks on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 13:13.

Pointing out a problem is good but not providing a real solution to the problem mis-educates the masses. The last thing I would want to see is have the masses replace one evil with another - We already have that with the false left/right paridigm.
That's what Glen Back does - defines a real problem but leads his followers down a false solution otherwise known as controlled opposition.
I am not saying that the presenter in this case is doing that. The reason why I stopped watching the film was because he made it appear as though lincholn the (Tyrant) was just because he created his own fiat currency rather then using bank created fiat currency - Both were bad and disasterous.
In short pointing out the problem of Fascism but indirectly promoting Communism in that effort does not give a solution to the problem.

What an EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT video!

Submitted by pawnstorm12 on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 05:37.

One of the best I've ever seen on the DailyPaul.

MANY thanks to you for this.

I will be passing this on to everyone I can.

I knew this from reading "The Creature From Jekyll Island" but now I can use this video to try to teach those who won't read that book.

God bless the DailyPaul!

The enemy is not the bankers but individual and government stupidity.

Andrew Jackson paid the international bankers in 1835, and eliminated the need for a central bank.

The Whigs and the the Republican Party had us begging International bankers for a bailout by 1872.

Another crises in 1892 when the loan came due. When those new loans came due in 1912 cCongress saddles us with the Federal Reserve in 1913.

Pierce Morgan argued that without guns, there will be no murders. Our folks think without bankers, there will be no wars.

War is the health of the state. If a kingdom does not have money for an agressive war, that does not mean there will be no war. It simply means that a richer country will likely to attack soon.
